Explanation:  The Republic is the form of a democratically elected government that represents all the citizens of that republic and their interests. Citizens do not decide directly on many important issues, but vote in the election for representatives who will do it in their name. If the elected representatives do not meet the citizens' expectations, they will naturally be replaced in the next elections, and that is why this is a form of indirect democracy.
